salisbury n c thursday december 25 1851 > " kcr.p a check lton all tour ) roless in the meantime we hope that the spir it of enterprize is not quenched and that lhe sound of the hammer and trowel will shortly be heard from out the midst ol the ashes and the ruins ral regester they are sudden and unexpected and in one moment deprive the sufferers of those comforts which perhaps they were in the habit of dispensing to others and there is no excuse for the blind fatuity that leaves them entirely unprovided again>t we need good engines an elficient fire police and above all water water !â€” had it been within reach in any quantity on monday morning tbe flames could have been subdued before they had gain ed even a trivial advantage we feel as sured that any action that our mayor and commissioners may take in the premises at their next meeting will be promptly re sponded to by our citizens we call up on them to take some action to do their duty north carolina history in perusing wheeler's history of our state we have been highly gratified to see recorded the evidence of the reprobation with which our forefathers viewed the use of intoxicating drinks as far back as 1770 we find this high sense of moral rectitude prevailing among the people the tyrant tryon was at that period by appointment of the british crown gov ernor of north carolina " he ruled the state with the temper ot a despot and the rod of a tyrant but finding the people of north carolina would not submit to his oppression he endeavored to propitiate them at a general muster by offering a large barbecue and had several barrels of beer unheaded for them but the peo ple were not to be cajoled by such acts of hypocrisy ; they rushed in a body to the tables overthrew the barrels and spilled the liquor and threw the barbecue into the river untasted ! a laudable example set to tlie people of the present day as to the course they should pursue towards the demagogues who under pretence ot love lor the dear sovereigns pour the poison down their throats to cheat them out of the rights of freemen ! againâ€”in orange county in 177g a convention of the people was proposed to be held to determine upon a redress of their grievances at some suitable place where there shooid be no liquor here is another example worthy of imitation if our legislatures conventions courts dec were held where no liquor could be procured a different stale of things would be presented from those commonly exhibited on such occasions spirit of the age the n y tribune thus describes the person of the hungarian patriot the morganton murder and trial we give today a large portion of oar columns to the above case we gave at first what we believed to be a full and impartial account of that dreadful affair and have seen no reason since to change our opinion ; believing it still to be as cor rect and more impartial and full than any that has been given and we should have said nothing more but from urgent solici tations which we feel bound at length to yield to col avery at first from ac quaintance association and character stood tenfold higher in our estimation than mr flemming yet our sense of right of law of order arid of conscience as an in dividual and as a public journalist com pelled us to look upon the deed he com mitted with astonishment anguish and abhorence we begin the statement of â€¢' b general bynum after his detail of the suit fight etc being in substance what we published ourselves we see nothing in his statement that is false yet there were many things that were true that he left unsaid and he evidently has given every possible advantage to col a that the case could admit in the bounds of truth he gives in substance over a column his whole argument to which we do not object but it certainly would have given in this " authentic account the ar gument for the state his declaration that " when god pardons man dare not punish is about on a par with that un warrantable assumption of the mountain banner that " it the murder was justi fied in the sight of god and max and when " a says admitting his reason was not dethroned had he not a right to do it we say most unqualifiedly no neither he nor any other man in our judg ment has a right to do any such thing in any such way or place as soon would we expect to be shot down in the house of god on the sabbath day as in a court room under a judges seat and he on the bench if such things are permitted in such places we have no guarantee for life or protection this side heaven it is plead up that " public opinion required col a to kill flamming if it did " public opi.v io.v is wrong a bad guide and a murder er and ought forthwith to be set right and restored to reason and if this be public opinion we for one are against it now henceforth and forever ; and if public o pinion gives a man the right to set all ! law nt defiance and take the life of a fel ' low being at will we long for a place in some vast howling wilderness where " public opinion has no abiding place nor authority we consider the verdict of the jury a perfect farce so far as law is concerned and one which if sanctioned renders every man's life insecure and un certain for one hour we know not one of the jurors nor do we impeach their motives or consciences in their verdict but such a verdict we pray god may nev er again be rendered in our beloved or any other american state so long as we have laws and law-givers we speak from a sense of justice and not to wound any ones feelings and we so speak that our sentiments may be known in future this case with all its melancholy reflec tions is over and gone forever so far as accountability in this world is concerned and if we could burry it wash it and make it a " white as snow we would but we cannot look upon it oilier than an act that was unlawful unjust and one that lays a broad axe at the root of all that renders us preeminently distinguished as a christian people for our love and ob servance of right reason law and order ash messenger kossuth is a good looking man nhout live feet seven or eight inches in bright and with great expression of feature his eye is

arrived was the simple unadorned dress of his country the hun ga.ian hat with its feather and dangling tassels altogether he has a command ing tigure and the first impression which strike an

to his honor and no doubt heard all that was said after the ceremonies of tho reception had concluded kossuth left the g:\rden and was received by the military escort which was awaiting him consisting of the whole of the first division of new york state militia under command of major gen sandford with the highest military honors the immense procession was then formed and moved through the route
